Abstract excerpt

Thraustochytrium is a unicellular marine protist for the commercial production of very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs). Biosynthesis of these VLCPUFAs in the protist is catalysed by a PUFA synthase comprising three subunits, each with multiple catalytic domains. Among these domains, two tandem FabA-like dehydratase domains (DH1 and DH2) in subunit-C together are responsible for introducing...
